i find it humorous that the programme in question is a history
documentary titled:

Harlots, Housewives and Heroines: A 17th Century History for Girls

Therein probably lies the problem. I've not watched that but I recall that in some of Lucy's programmes there's an element of fanciful re-creation (ie actors pretending to be historical characters)... At the same time, her programmes are the sort of thing that brings history alive and perhaps therefore the sort of things parents might want their kids to see. I think they'd have needed to
gloss over precisely what harlots were.
